In years past the coupons were unlimited. Free hugs and so on. Not so this year. 3 hugs and 2 kisses. I cannot tell if I am getting old or if my children have become stingy.
It is God who has made us and not we ourselves, we are His people and the sheep of His pasture!

100 Lessons from Jehoram
When God sends a special surprise child into the family, there is a particular temptation to spoil that child, as they did Jehoram.
Humor me while I remind myself that I love you enough to teach you also.
Lesson 1- Beware of raising children as though they are God's gift.
Children are a heritage of the Lord. The one's that we expect and the one's that come surprisingly. God spares the children by the skin of their teeth. And it is the temptation to coddle them for the rest of their lives. There are children that we require obedience from and children, who by our lack of follow through, we teach that they can get away with stuff. Beware!
I love you enough to teach you and to force you to listen! I love you enough to stop acting old for a minute to take the time to impress the Word of God into your life, also!...

Yesterday, Ezra picked up one of the books
around the house and said to me, "Every adult in this family walks around with one of these...(referring to a writing journal) What is it and I want one." It was so comforting to me that he had noticed that. I really hadn't realized that he was the only one not writing in a journal. I had been castigating myself, that my children are not writing as I would like them to. Right away we put together a little paper journal and he wrote in it, some, Lord's day thoughts. The family that writes together?
